EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive 1939 World's Fair Cake, a true masterpiece created by Bill Baker of the Soya and Lima Bean Bakery in Ojai, California. Crafted specifically for the Golden Gate International Exposition on San Francisco Bay, this colossal cake weighs a staggering 1000 pounds and stands at an awe-inspiring height of 3 feet. Its dimensions span across 5 feet at the base and extend to 3 feet across on top. What makes this cake even more remarkable is that it was made entirely from California products using the same recipe as the annual Christmas cake sent to President Roosevelt and his wife. The decorations adorning this edible marvel are meticulously handcrafted from sugar, taking an entire year to complete. Certified pure food coloring brings vibrant life to these intricate details. Bill Baker's dedication to his craft shines through in every aspect of this extraordinary creation. It serves as both a tribute to the baking industry and a testament to California's rich agricultural heritage. As you gaze upon this photograph, let your imagination transport you back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur of the Golden Gate International Exposition. Marvel at Bill Baker's skillful design, expert baking techniques, and artistic prowess that have brought forth such an astonishing confectionary delight.
